relaciona

Relaciona is a conjugated form of the verb relacionar in both Spanish and Portuguese. In both languages, relacionar means to relate, connect, or associate, and related noun forms include relación in Spanish and relação in Portuguese. The form relaciona is used for the third-person singular present indicative: he relates, she relates, or you formal relate (usted) in Spanish; ele/ela/você relaciona in Portuguese. The infinitive is relacionar. The verb is commonly employed in academic, scientific, and everyday contexts to indicate linking items, ideas, events, or causes.

In usage, relaciona appears in sentences such as "El informe relaciona los hechos con las causas" in Spanish, meaning the report relates the facts to the causes. In Portuguese, an example is "A pesquisa relaciona os dados com as evidências," meaning the study relates the data to the evidence. The term spans various domains, including data analysis, literature reviews, education, journalism, and policy discussions, wherever establishing connections between elements is required. Related verbs and nouns include relacionar (to relate), relação (relation), and ligação (link), which provide related nuances in each language.

Etymology traces relacionar to Latin relatio, relatio- and the regular -ar verb suffix used to form first-conjugation verbs in both Spanish and Portuguese. The word thus reflects the broader semantic field of connection, association, and comparative assessment that is central to reasoning and communication.
